June is almost over, which means it’s time for Affiliate Bingo 👀 This month, someone’s budget disappeared too fast, someone’s postback broke at the worst possible moment, someone refreshed the campaign status 100 times, and someone finally found a GEO or creative that actually worked. Sounds familiar? Open the card and count how many boxes you can mark. If you got bingo — congrats, you survived June like a real affiliate 😄

Banners in HilltopAds are now available with CPM pricing 🚀 Previously, advertisers could launch Banner campaigns only on CPC.

World Cup is a perfect reminder: the best time to prepare your campaigns is not during the final whistle, but before the biggest matches start. 🗓 Check our sports calendar and plan your next campaign with HilltopAds!
